I used one night at 3 months. It ended badly because my stomach felt like it was on fire the second I started to drink. I made it through 3 drinks and finally dumped it because my brain was screaming more. That made me recommit to the fact that drinking sucked. Had I not gotten sick who knows where that would have lead. You need that mindset that it is never Ok to drink any amount under any circumstances. I had very serious PAWS at 4 months. Those milestones can be prime relapse for some of us. What I learned from that relapse beside drinking sucks was to never let those thoughts get me alone again. If you feel thoughts of using starting to plant themselves speak up and tell someone.
